IT Support for Law Firms in Venice

Simple IT SRQ runs IT for Sarasota County firms: matter-level document security, encrypted email that doesn't break Outlook, Florida Bar-aligned phishing evidence, and backup retention that respects attorney-client privilege.

Frequently asked — law firms
Are you familiar with Clio / PracticePanther / MyCase?
Yes - we run all three at active law-firm clients. We handle Microsoft 365 + practice-management integration, document-storage governance, and the SSO setup that lets attorneys sign into the practice tool with their firm credentials.
How do you handle attorney-client privileged data?
Encrypted at rest on every device, encrypted in transit on every network, access scoped per matter when the practice tool supports it, audit logs preserved for the lifetime of the matter + 7 years. Backup retention is configured to match your firm's records-retention policy, not a generic 30-day default.
Can you help us answer our security renewal questionnaire?
Yes - that is one of our most-requested deliverables. We walk through the questionnaire, fix the controls we are qualified to handle, and hand you a written documentation packet. We do not sell insurance or make premium promises.
What happens if a partner's laptop is stolen?
Every laptop is full-disk encrypted, MDM-enrolled, and remotely wipeable. We have a written incident-response runbook for stolen-device events that covers Florida Bar notification thresholds (depending on whether privileged data was on the device) and your insurance carrier's first-notice-of-loss requirements.
Do you support hybrid workflows - courthouse, home, office?
Yes. Every device gets the same hardened configuration whether it's in your downtown Sarasota office, the partner's home, or a hotel near a deposition. VPN to the firm's documents is unnecessary because we run everything through SharePoint or your practice tool's native cloud.
